Update: Revised list of non-domestic RHI claimants

The Department of the Economy has published a revised list of the businesses that have received payments under the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.

The department said the list, which was initially published on 16 March, contained a small number of errors. These have now been rectified.

A statement, issued on Friday morning, read: “The list previously published showed that Stephens Catering had five boilers with payments to date of £228,862.38. The company only has one boiler with payments to date of £20,252.76 - the list has been amended to reflect this. The Department wishes to apologise for any distress or inconvenience that has been caused by incorrect information being published.

“The Department is also currently working on a separate list which will contain the names of the individuals who are in receipt of payments of £5,000 or more under the non-domestic scheme and this will be published as soon as possible.”

There is no suggestion that any of those on the list are in breach of either the spirit or the letter of the controversial scheme.
